An executive at NBC Universal who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was a personnel matter said Tuesday that Lack, a veteran entertainment executive who worked at NBC for a decade ending in 2003, would return in a lead role overseeing NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC.

Discussions with Lack were first reported in Variety.
